However, because the novel is also concerned with effects of the characters' first impressions,which is their prejudice. Austen found the title Pride and Prejudice more suitable.

The tone of the novel is light,and satirical(讽刺）。Scenes such as Mr.Collin's proposal(求婚）to Elizabeth,and Lady Catherine's visits to Lizzy at Long bourn, provide humorous relief to the readers while at the same tie showing certain traits(个性）of the characters. For example,

Lydia' s lack of common sense and responsibility is showed when she takes pride in being the First Bennet girl to be married. Elizabeth Bennet's ability to laugh off er bad luck and to continue to e cheerful also contributes to the tone of the novel.

The emotions in the novel are to be considered beneath the surface of the story and not to be expressed to the readers directly.
